The Open Hand Foundation charity, which YouTuber The Completionist has an "active" role in, has been accused of keeping public donations despite claiming the money is being spent on dementia research.

Tl;DR: Funds raised during IndieLand were claimed to be going to charities, which is contradicted by Open Hand’s tax filings showing the money never went anywhere.

    I don’t think greed is the best explanation when it’s his whole family’s charity and none of the money has gone into anyone’s pocket.

      Yeah seems like ignorance or maybe he got so held up on trying to make the best decision possible that he got into decision paralysis. It happens to all of us at some point. But fucking 10 years. At least the money is still there and hopefully this will get something rolling.
